Annoyed Hurler

14th March 2017

Really disappointed to hear a 17 team hurling league of Div 3 & 4 teams. Complete nonsense. We now have seasoned Div 2 (last year) and IHC clubs playing against JHC teams in a league, including teams only recently formed. Some teams are going to get hammered. What purpose will that serve anyone? How will that develop players especially those who aspire to play county level, other than make them feel good?
The Jim Nelson (a St Pauls stalwart) review of 3 years ago sought to create competitive leagues and did so successfully. You therefore had to fight for every point to gain promotion or survive in the league. In Div 3 the intensity of the hurling had to be maintained. They were working well. The St Pauls proposal bins that report.
I understand that most Div 1 teams abstained from the vote. That is sad. In the county we should be seen as a hurling family all looking after each other for the betterment of hurling. Abstaining indicates total apathy for what goes on outside of the elite clubs.
PS. Someone will come up with the brainwave to change the leagues next year to avoid teams getting scalped….

Breaking news.

Fair play for the intriguing tweet in relation to the breaking news. It got me. Keep up the great work.
I hope the golf classic goes well for the hurlers.

It did get a lot of interest.

More importantly- get yourself a four ball booked or sponsor the team on the day.

Find it hard to see how our county hurling manager can say that hurling is dying in West Belfast, when St.Marys are now into an All-Ireland Final having beaten every North Antrim opposition comfortably, also rossa and Stjohns have won numerous minor titles in previous years and more recently Stjohns winning an U21 title. This is extremely insulting to proud hurling men in west Belfast, there may be a lot of kids but there is a lot of other hobbies to taken up in Belfast. Think coaches in Belfast deserve credit, ok it hasn't became evident at senior yet but it'll come! Tus maith leat na-obire

Sambo's interview was open & honest. Your homing in on a negative. Antrim hurling is currently not were we all would like it to be. It is also there for a reason.

The tide is turning - our Senior hurlers are working extremely hard and have heart and will be successful.

Well done to St Mary's this weekend.

I wouldn't see it as an insult at all.

You know what your club and other clubs have achieved in Belfast and there have been successes as you have indicated.

The stats pointed out by Sambo in relation to children hurling in Belfast is a reality.

any dates for after split? trying to arrange holidays and need to know!!!

They will be out in the next day or two.

In response to 'small voice from lower leagues', and having checked the published fixtures, it looks to me as if the Div 3 clubs will begin the season one week ahead of most Div1 and Div2 clubs who will be fielding a reserve team; not that big a difference...

Small voice from lower leagues

22nd February 2017

Can someone please tell me the benefits of starting the Div 3 football league so early ? Does the county board not realise that there is no way club pitches will be in any condition to host games this time of year . It means that teams would have to give up home advantage and find a council pitch that's available as I would imagine their opponents pitch would also be unavailable. Why the gulf between 1/2 and 3 , does Div 3 football not count ? Smacks of elitism you ask me.

Excellent job concerning the All county league fixtures. Looks to be a well planned/organised schedule.
Any idea when dates for the club championships will be released?

The club championship club dates will be out in the next day or so.

Well done everyone from Antrim, led by Bronagh Lennon, who worked their socks off behind the scenes to make the All Ireland Scor na n'Og Final in the Waterfront a huge success. Hard work is breathing new life into Scor in Antrim.

Yes well done to Bronagh & all involved!

A massive success for Antrim to host.
